Attempted Robbery, Armed Robbery Committed By Same Suspect, TPD Believes

Tulsa Police believe an attempted robbery and armed robbery Friday morning were committed by the same person.

Police said just before 9 Friday morning, a man walked into the Dollar General at 6124 South Garnett Road with a red bandanna covering his face.

The man saw an employee on the phone then turned around and walked out. Police said he was seen running toward the Sugarberry Apartments.

A few minutes later a person matching his description demanded money from the Subway at 12705 East 41 Street.

Police said the man pointed a gun at the employee and demanded the money then left. Officers said the gun was left at the scene and they confirmed it was a black airsoft BB gun.

Witnesses described the man as a black male in his mid-20s, tall with a thin build. Police said he got into a white vehicle, possibly a truck or utility van.

Police are asking anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 918-596-COPS.
